Woolwich mortgage to 'ease fears' over interest rates

Woolwich has launched a new mortgage designed to assuage borrowers' concerns about potential base rate increases.

The group's new fix and track mortgage has been designed to be fixed at 5.39 per cent for a year, before reverting to a format which will see it track at 0.39 per cent above the base rate.

Enabling a loan-to-value rate of up to 80 per cent, the Woolwich mortgage can be taken on with an arrangement fee of £595.

The Woolwich mortgage is also exceptionally flexible, allowing customers to switch to another Woolwich fixed or capped-rate mortgage without incurring an early repayment charge.

Andy Gray, head of mortgages at the group, said: "The strength of this product is that the one-year fix will clip the wings of any further interest rate rise this year whilst allowing borrowers to take full advantage of any fall in interest rates next year with a very competitively priced lifetime tracker."

The group has also announced that it will be reducing the rate on its long-term fixed-rate mortgage to 5.57 per cent from 5.59 per cent.
